. HELL I want them all!

Haha, I've got 4 cars + my girls 71 sonett at my place, if I had a bigger place there'd be more cars for sure. It's best not to over do it, I've seen guys with 20 cars they're never going to make the time to fix filling their yard...

Actually, I keep them in a field in another state.
I agree, fewer projects = more time and money to finish what you have.
More isn't better, it's just...more.

I was curious if anybody has ever seen one of these in the rafters. This one is mine and she's got 302/Aod combo. Her shoes will be satin finish Radirs with some dark paint-gray/gunmetal/satin blue??????

**novatattoo** · 09-10-2009, 05:57 PM

Wow! Thats up there.

Later,Bill

Metal work looks fantastic. Should be awesome when it's done considering the other cars in your stable.

rev106 · 09-11-2009, 07:59 AM

Kinda hard to work on up there?

i was told mine used to be a bell telephone van. that green is the original color of mine and i have holes that were repaired where the ladder rack used to be. in fact i have read several places that most of the panels were used for the telephone company.

rev106 · 09-19-2009, 08:38 AM

I think that was very common, after all that's what they were made for: work.

You know, I've never seen one of those trucks chopped that looked good. If you scroll a few pages back, you'll see a chopped van that looks awesome but the trucks for some reason don't take to chopping well.

erock805 · 09-21-2009, 02:20 PM

Okay, so I finally tore into the dented (hit two years agao) roll pan. I had found a replacement after a year of looking. Anyway, I cutt out the old smashed and full of bondo roll pan, and found. Rust. In fact the drivers side rear had a hole filled with bondo the size of a kids fist. Damnnnn

So I need some patch panels.... The rear corners. Does anyone know if someone sells new?

Also, had to pull the fricken huge weight out from off the floor. I imagine I could pull some killer endos right now.

I took some pics and will post them up a bit later.

Hellfish · 09-21-2009, 03:09 PM

there are 2 NOS rear corners on eBay right now for $45 each. You can also get the brand new from Mill Supply or Mac's (same parts)
